p.s. one does use liquids when baking - but I should have said "cook"
much .
Interestingly - or not, one uses the same vessels measuring solids and
liquids following recipes.

That's fluid ounces. And American ones are smaller than Imperial ones. So we

properly, 1 cup = 8 oz , 2 cups = one pint, 4 cups = 1 quart...

One of the questions that is hard to answer is "How much coffee is a
cup?" I think it's loosely based on the French "Tasse à café".
Looking it up on-line, I found a claim that the "standard" was 5fl oz
of liquid in a 6fl oz cup leaving 1 fl oz of head-room to allow the
customer to add cream & sugar to taste without spillage. That comports
well with the new, replacement Corelle Ware coffee cups I bought last
week, whose label says they're 11 fl oz (2x5+1). **
Just as a side experiment, I filled my "4-Cup" Mr. Coffee carafe
according to instructions for making 4 cups and then poured the water
out into measuring cups. It came to 24fl oz.
Going by what the Mr. Coffee carafe holds, "2 large mugs" is the
equivalent of "4 cups". If I fill my favorite coffee mug from the Mr.
Coffee carafe, the remainder will almost always be at just about the
"2 cups" mark.

2 large mugs of coffee on the morning.
A large mug of strong tea (PG Tips) in the afternoon.
Wine or beer with dinner.
A cup of decaf after dinner 2-3 times a week.
Keeping all of the bases covered...

A study published Thursday in the journal "PLOS Biology" suggests
that 4
cups of strong coffee daily may be the ideal way to improve how the
cells inside blood vessels work.

Four cups of strong coffee a day might be the recipe for a healthy
heart, especially for older adults.
I have a 4-cup Mr. Coffee that I got as a wedding present back in
1974.
It lasted even if the marriage didn't.
I've had to replace the carafe twice (glass & clumsy don't mix that
well) and with the last replacement I bought a spare (still in the
bubble wrap) just in case, so I hope it will continue to serve for
another 44 years if I'm lucky enough to live to be 112.
** The original cups that came with my Corelle Ware were some 6fl oz
things with a flattened rim that I could never drink out of without
spilling.

I had to replace a broken plate & there's a Corning Outlet store
nearby, so when I was up that way, I stopped in. In addition to the
plate, I went ahead & bought a set of 4 cups.
